My students think it's great to teach me Hebrew and to make fun of me when I can't say the "ch" sound quite right ("Mincha Minyan" for example).
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I would love it, only I'm afraid the postage fees will be ridiculously high for something so small.
I really don't know how much the postage would be. Maybe if someone else is mailing you something, I could send the keychain to them to include.

Maybe you need more phlegm?

I've gotten a lot better. Still, it's odd to be such a minority. I'm finding it an invaluable learning experience.

It should come from the bottom of your throat. ita managed it very quickly when I told her how to say "brown belt" in Hebrew ("khagora khooma").
tommy, I have no idea regarding the price, at all (as I've obviously never mailed anything to myself from the USA), and I don't think there's anything going over to Israel from any Buffista in the near future. But regardless, it's lovely of you to offer.

Also, last night I dreamed that I'd found a really funky cool little house with three bedrooms and a pool for $80K.
Sometimes my subconscious is just mean.

I still can't say my neighbor's daughter's name right. I feel really awkward about it. She teaches Hebrew at the local univesity. I should just ask her to teach me to pronounce it correctly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Kristin, it sounds like your subconscious is off by an order of magnitude.
You might want to get that recalibrated.

Poor Kristin. I suspect my train trip with Nilly is more likely.

The thing is, I know how to do it; I just have difficulty making it soft while also making it come from the back of my throat. like I said, though, I think I'm getting better.
ETA: I was so psyched in the dream. I was finding paint colors and cleaning up the yard, and...sigh.
